Summary

Far Leftists DEFEND Hong Kong Police, Call Protesters Far Right Fascists. The Hong Kong Protesters are demanding freedom of speech and the right to protest, among other things. From this there has been an escalation in clashes with police resulting in a viral photo and video showing police draw their arms against the protesters.While many in the US on the left and right condemned the shocking act, some far leftists have actually come to the defense of the police saying they were being attacked by a mob of far right fascists.Far left activists have increasingly begun to take the side of the communist party and police. This is party due to the fact that Hong Kong protesters use Pepe, Fly American Flags, Sing the US anthem, and have asked Donald Trump for help.While its important to stress that many on the left absolutely side with the protesters, it is even more important to note that those in the US waving communist flags have defended China and have actually engaged in similar behavior in the US.Its not necessarily a mirror image of the US, its basically the same thing. Pro communist activists in the US target pro freedom of speech activists here all the same.Both sides are worthy of criticism but in the end it seems that for some the issue is not about principle, freedoms, or opposing authoritarianism but in defending their "tribe" Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

There's something truly astonishing and weird about the US view of what's happening in Hong Kong.

0:06.4

As you can see in this photo, there's a bunch of Hong Kong protesters waving American flags.

0:11.0

They carry signs asking for Trump to help liberate Hong Kong,

0:15.4

and they're fighting against police, and this is being reinforced by the Communist Party of China.

0:22.2

So in a sense, you have pro-democracy protesters pushing back on China all at a time,

0:27.7

while Trump is escalating the US-thraight war with China.

0:31.8

So it's no surprise then that I'm seeing far-left activists and media personalities

0:37.7

condemn the Hong Kong protesters as far-right, as fascists, as violent mobs.

0:44.8

The other day, we saw police in Hong Kong draw their guns on protesters, protesters with sticks.

0:53.7

Now listen, I'll be the first to condemn mob violence.

0:57.3

I will do it here in the US, and I will call it out in Hong Kong I don't care where it is.

1:01.6

There have been circumstances where Hong Kong protesters have beaten a journalist,

1:06.5

because I thought he was a cop, and that is absolutely detestable, deplorable, and wrong,

1:11.1

and needs to be condemned outright.

1:13.3

Then there are more complicated situations, where a group of cops are fighting with a mob,

1:17.9

and then it goes back and forth with the cops drawing their guns.

1:21.0

At that point, I kind of say it's escalated beyond my own perspective on the matter.

1:27.0

If two groups are fighting with each other, and then someone draws a gun,

1:30.5

I think they probably shouldn't do that, but at the same time, there's no real, you know,

1:36.4

position for me to say, you know, whose right or whose wrong in a fight of this proportion.

1:41.3
